SOUND OFF -- Oct. 12

BUTT OUT, NON-SMOKERS

To "Butt Of Smokers:" There's a lot of our butts out there and if you don't like it, then leave. I'm pretty sure it would be most refreshing not to read anybody's whining and complaining comments in the Sound Off anyway.

HAPPY SMOKER

A MISERABLE FAILURE

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton would try to lay the blame for what happened in Libya at the feet of George Bush. Those two and those two alone are responsible for the monumental blunder that came about, which resulted in the death of four innocent Americans. They lied to the public and they tried to get away with it, but they got caught in one of the biggest lies in his administration. Wake up, American, this man is no good for this country. We still have time to vote him out of office and get somebody decent in the White House. He has been a miserable failure since day one.

OLD VS. YOUNG

Politicians in charge of our government are leading us into a generational war. It is partially because of our failed education system, but many young people have little idea about the threat of excessive government spending and our soaring national debt. Ironically, they are the ones who will be most hurt by President Obama's rampant irresponsibility. He's a rock star to them, but while it true that seniors are also at risk, it its our children and grandchildren who will be forced to pay a heavy price if President Obama is re-elected.

FAITH FAMILY FREEDOM

TIMES GETS IT RIGHT

When I read your editorial on Chaput vs. the news media I thought what a brave move that was in a primarily Catholic area. Well, I was right. We have a die-hard Catholic reaming the paper for telling the truth. So many Catholics are almost Talibanish when it comes to being fanatical. Oh yeah, shut up about what goes on with the church. There are many, many wonderful things the church has done but covering up pedophilia is not one of them. If it weren't for the news media it would still be going on and I dare any Catholic to deny that. Now I read in today's paper about the changes being made to Don Guanella and the news media was not invited. Gee, wonder why? If it is such a good thing, let everyone know about it. Hmm, I smell another cover up? Hey Chaput, haven't you heard -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Valuable property Guanella sits on!

THE TRUTH SHOULD SET YOU FREE

THE GREEDY RICH

Florida billionaire David Seigel, who is a big supporter of Mitt Romney, told the employees of his company that if President Obama were re-elected he would have to lay people off. He said he has had to sacrifice as a business owner as it is and cannot tolerate anymore tax hikes. He says he's already sacrificed enough even though he is building his $100 million 90,000 square foot mansion just outside of Orlando, Fla. He had to sacrifice. I guess he couldn't build for a 100,000 square foot mansion. The rich continue to want more, more and more, and could care less about the true working man or woman.

NOBODY SHOULD VOTE

Until lobbyists and big business stop controlling government we are never going to be able to change this country for the good. Too many politicians depend on lobbyists and big businesses for their campaign money to run this country. Mind you, that money is never used for the betterment of this country. If we are going to get on to the correct path toward a better country we need to not vote for these politicians that are shoved down our throats. If nobody voted this year it would show the people who really run this country that nobody in the political realm is truly liked and we want to change our government system.

It's wishful thinking of me because this will never ever happen, but none the less a great thought.
